Midnite

The brainchild of brothers Ron and Vaughn Benjamin, Midnite formed in the Virgin Islands island of St. Croix in 1989. The quintet members have included Dion Hopkins (drums), Joe Straws (bass), Trippa (guitar), Ron (keyboards), and Vaughn (lead vocals). They're popular in St. Croix, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and the East Coast of the States, where they have gigged for a number of years. A well-received three-week South Africa engagement represents their longest trek to date. Other than the Benjamins, the members' identities are a comparative mystery: Straws (aka Big Bass) has been around for many years, but Hopkins, acclaimed for his one-drop foundation, and Trippa, for his tight backbeat skank, are relative newcomers; Vaughn has been the main songwriter, with Ron serving as the musical director. Steel Pulse, Barrington Levy, Hugh Masekela, and Gladys Knight & the Pips are among the artists Midnite have shared the stage with at various concerts. Their popularity extends to college campuses, including Rutgers, Temple, Johnson C. Smith, Clark-Atlanta University, and many more. Albums like Ras Mek Peace (1999), Vijan (2003), and Treasure (2011) represent their political bent and their dancehall flavor. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi

Good vibes... all this talk about Jesus, the. Bible that's been through racist evil hands before being passed around the world to hypnotize people...just stop... there's one and its neither he or she... The Creator. All others are whispers to let you know it exists and to wake up but you must walk in pure love... but like I was saying... Good Vibes fiyah bredrn

The Bible says look to the west for the true descendent of King Solomon and he will be the second coming of my son. That is why rhasta believe Haille Selassie I as the reincarnation of the man who was filled with so much love that he can only be a child of God

Wow, I see a lot of comments and some are very disturbing. First of all God creator of all is the Father of Jesus Christ. Salassie I is a direct descendent of King Solomon and Sheba. No reincarnation. Please remember the Bible is the only book written under heaven that has prophesy that have been proven and is still being revealed even now. It's not about white and black, that's Satan. This world is run by Satan, God gave him free reign to do as he please and a whole lot of you are in his web so

Jesus is the Truth, the Light and the Way. Only one to die and rise for us all so believe in Him, Love and Righteousness, Mercy, Truth and Right!! Spirit that dwells within and lives eternally in all. Even Selassie was a Coptic Christian, knew the Truth concerning Jah, the Divinity and Holy Trinity. Died for all our sins, the redeemer. Selassie even left a bishop behind in Jamaica after his visit to convert Rastas to Christianity, over 5,000 of them did. We never die, bredren and sistren,

Rasta worship selassie I as a reincarnation of Christ, or manifestation of higher divine wisdom. While I do not agree with selassie being " god", I do believe he is a manifestation of divine light. With that said I believe The relationship most "Christians" have with " Jesus " today is a form of idolatry. We are all children of Jah, the creator lives through us. Yahshua(Jesus) just knew this, and reached this realization. He journeyed over the world, learning wisdom. Ever wondered why his teena
